How to convert GIF to AVIF

Drop your GIF files into the box at the top of the page, or click it to browse your files. The converter makes a copy of each one in AVIF format, and you can download them one by one or all at once. You can convert up to 4 images a day for free, up to 8 MB each. Pro removes the daily limit, lets you convert up to 30 images at a time, and accepts images up to 30 MB.

You can also resize your images and strip out metadata like EXIF data and GPS location while you convert. We store your images for an hour before we permanently delete them.

Converting GIF to AVIF

GIF is typically used for flat graphics and short animations that need to work in every browser and chat app, while AVIF is used for websites that want the smallest possible images.

What changes when I convert GIF to AVIF?

AVIF uses lossy compression, so the converter trades a small amount of detail for a smaller file. The recommended quality is 80%, and you can change it in the settings.

AVIF files are usually smaller than GIF files of the same picture, which helps pages load faster.

Understanding GIF

GIF is a format limited to 256 colours per image. It supports simple on-or-off transparency and animation, which made it popular for short looping clips and flat graphics.

Understanding AVIF

AVIF is a newer format that usually makes the smallest files of any common image format. It supports transparency, but it is slower to create and some older apps cannot open it.

Once your images are converted, the colour converter can help you translate any hex, RGB or CMYK values you're working with into whichever format your design tools need next.
